Why was the fire so Great?-Autumn 2
Why did the Fire Burn for 5 days?
This half term we will be looking at the Great Fire of London. We will be thinking about where and why the fire started and the reasons as to why it burned for 5 days? We will create art work around the fire and write diaries just like Samuel Pepys did!

Key Text for Autumn 2
Reading for pleasure is super important to us here at Butler's Hill. We shared these text as a whole class and complete independent challenges around the texts during this time.
Enrichment activities
We are lucky enough to have The Partake History group in every Autumn to complete a drama workshop around the events of the Great Fire. Children have the opportunity to act out various people from the fire like Samuel Pepys and to also create the fire and dance to music. We have so much fun!
